Our Wider Mission

The Central Southeast Ohio Association sends a portion of the Our Churches Wider Mission offering that is received from local churches to the Ohio Conference and to national and world settings. Our Church's Wider Mission is one way that the missions and ministries of the United Church of Christ give expression to our stewardship of God's resources.

Ministry to Local Churches, Pastors and Lay Leaders

Church and Ministry is responsible for the recognition of ministers and in ministerial standing. The department nurtures In-Care students preparing for ministry and works with pastors to strengthen ministerial skills.

Church and the World seeks to support ministries that improve the conditions in society that result in human suffering, poverty, hunger and homelessness. It supports a special ministry for persons living with HIV/AIDS. The Department encourages through mission partner grants local churches and other organizations to engage in local community missions.

Church and Education offers opportunities for church to provide educational and spiritual growth experiences and to support teaches and pastors in the educational ministries of the church. it helps youth delegates participate in the Ohio Conference Annual Gathering and national youth events.

Stewardship Working Group is beginning work to encourage churches to be Stewards of the resources God has and is providing for ministry and mission.

The Association is your partner in ministry. Check out options.
